Download or read book De Centering Global Sociology written by Arthur Bueno and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the challenges posed to sociological theory and social science research by a growing need to foreground perspectives stemming from, and accounting for, subaltern groups, marginal categories, the Global South, and other politically peripheral regions. De-Centering Global Sociology radically questions some of the most enduring assumptions within sociological thought and social science research and illustrates the impacts of de-centering critical concepts in public policy and education. It proposes new places to build social theory, beyond Europe and the United States, offering debates on the present and future of the social sciences. This peripheral turn also has impacts on the development of pedagogical practices, curricula, and educational research that are more inclusive, and in a position to promote global citizenship. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and academics with an interest in global social theory, decolonial and postcolonial studies, political theory, feminism, critical race theory, economic sociology, inequality studies, urban sociology, and the sociology of work, religion, and education. It will be of particular interest to those with a focus on citizenship, social policy, conviviality, social integration and solidarity, and new perspectives on multicultural education.

Download or read book Spanish American Women s Use of the Word written by Stacey Schlau and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's participation, both formal and informal, in the creation of what we now call Spanish America is reflected in its literary legacy. Stacey Schlau examines what women from a wide spectrum of classes and races have to say about the societies in which they lived and their place in them. Schlau has written the first book to study a historical selection of Spanish American women's writings with an emphasis on social and political themes. Through their words, she offers an alternative vision of the development of narrative genres—critical, fictional, and testimonial—from colonial times to the present. The authors considered here represent the chronological yet nonlinear development of women's narrative. They include Teresa Romero Zapata, accused before the Inquisition of being a false visionary; Inés Suárez, nun and writer of spiritual autobiography; Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, author of an indigenist historical romance; Magda Portal, whose biography of Flora Tristán furthered her own political agenda; Dora Alonso, who wrote revolutionary children's books; Domitila Barrios de Chungara, political leader and organizer; Elvira Orphée, whose novel unpacks the psychology of the torturer; and several others who address social and political struggles that continue to the present day. Although the writers treated here may seem to have little in common, all sought to maneuver through institutions and systems and insert themselves into public life by using the written word, often through the appropriation and modification of mainstream genres. In examining how these authors stretched the boundaries of genre to create a multiplicity of hybrid forms, Schlau reveals points of convergence in the narrative tradition of challenging established political and social structures. Outlining the shape of this literary tradition, she introduces us to a host of neglected voices, as well as examining better-known ones, who demonstrate that for women, simply writing can be a political act.
Download or read book Theodor W Adorno written by Blanca Muñoz and published by Editorial Fundamentos. This book was released on 2000 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La complejidad y amplitud de una obra como la de Th. W. Adorno ha hecho que ciertos aspectos de su creación intelectual hayan sido relegados injustamente. Sin embargo, la grandeza de esos análisis sobre cine, televisión, música de consumo, etcétera, se hace expresa cuando se comprueba la importancia que la cultura de masas tiene en el desarrollo teórico del concepto de dialéctica negativa. El presente estudio, en consecuencia, se estructura en tres aspectos principales. En primer lugar, establecer la posición de la obra de Adorno en la formulación reconstructiva de la racionalidad que marcó a la Teoría Crítica. En este sentido, la revisión temática que Adorno hizo de Hegel, Marx y Freud tiene que ser evaluada en relación a las transformaciones ideológicas que van desde el proyecto de una razón ilustrada hasta la consolidación de la razón instrumental caracterizada por el uso de medios poderosísimos para finalidades irracionales, tal y como muestra el hilo argumentativo de la Dialéctica del Iluminismo. La reinterpretación de estas tradiciones intelectuales, en segundo lugar, conduce al sujeto dividido prototípico de la sociedad articulada sobre unas estructuras de consumo planificado. Es aquí en donde resulta imprescindible un acercamiento pormenorizado a la Sociología de la Cultura elaborada por el autor de Frankfurt. Por ello, la Teoría Crítica replanteó de nuevo el proyecto del "poder de una racionalidad al servicio de los individuos, frente a la servidumbre de éstos al servicio de la racionalización del poder". De este modo, las reconstrucciones del concepto de cultura y de razón sintetizan la tercera parte de este libro. La vitalidad de la aportación de la Teoría Crítica, y en concreto de la obra de Adorno, se muestra plena de vigencia en un siglo que se ha cerrado con unos interrogantes e incertidumbres aún sin resolver. Pero que, a la vez, se perciben síntomas de un tiempo que pase de la cultura -y las culturas- como expresión, a la cultura como reflexión. Por tanto, su aportación requiere actualmente ser revisa.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Literary Translation written by Delfina Cabrera and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Literary Translation offers an understanding of translation in Latin America both at a regional and transnational scale. Broad in scope, it is devoted primarily to thinking comprehensively and systematically about the intersection of literary translation and Latin American literature, with a curated selection of original essays that critically engage with translation theories and practices outside of hegemonic Anglo centers. In this introductory volume, through survey and case-study chapters, contributing authors cover literary and cultural translation in the region historically, geographically, and linguistically. From the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, the chapters focus on issues ranging from the role of translation in the construction of national identities to the challenges of translation in the current digital age. Areas of interest expand from the United States to the Southern Cone, including the Caribbean and Brazil, as well as the impact of Latin American literature internationally, and paying attention to translation from and to indigenous languages; Portuguese, English, French, German, Chinese, Spanglish, and more. The first of its kind in English, this Handbook will shed light on different translation approaches and invite a rethinking of intercultural and interlingual exchanges from Latin American viewpoints. This is key reading for all scholars, researchers, and students of literary translation studies, Latin American literature, and comparative literature.
Download or read book Central American Young People Migration written by Henry Parada and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the social construction and representation of ‘youth on the move’ in the context of the migration process, using El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as a case study to reinterpret the immigration process under the frameworks of coloniality and epistemologies of the South. The discussion surrounding Central American migrants has increased exponentially with the emergence of the caravans and the increased security measures along Mexican and US borders. Explicitly focused on the plight of children and young people, the examination of migration includes exploring the global context and dynamics that influence migratory trends and framing Central American migrant processes and youth strategies of survival and resistance. Contributing to existing conversations about the migration of people from Central America, this text seeks to understand the phenomenon’s roots. This book will interest scholars and students across the social sciences, particularly those studying the global dynamics of power, and migration and governance, as well as practitioners involved in decision-making with governments and international organizations.

Download or read book Shifting Frontiers of Citizenship The Latin American Experience written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While in the days of the Cold War models of citizenship were relatively clear-cut around the contrasting projects of reform and revolution, in the last three decades Latin America has become a laboratory for comparative research. The region has witnessed both a renewal of electoral democracy and the diversification of experiments in citizen representation and participation. The implementation of neo-liberal policies has led to countervailing transformations in democratic citizenship and to the rise of populist leaderships, while the crisis of representation has been accompanied by new forms of participation, generating profound transformations. The authors analyze these recent trends, reflected in new forms of populism, inclusion and exclusion, participation and alternative models of democracy, social insecurity and violence, diasporas and transnationalism, the politics of justice and the politics of identity and multiculturalism.
Download or read book Brazil Lyric and the Americas written by Charles A. Perrone and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is Perrone at his most brilliant. Erudite but accessible, thorough but playful: Brazil, Lyric, and the Americas is the latest contribution by the most knowledgeable U.S.-based scholar of the Brazilian lyric."--Severino Joao Albuquerque, University of Wisconsin "Perrone retraces the dialogue of the Brazilian lyric with the poetry of the Americas in the generous spirit that the poets' utopia of solidarity will serve as a counterpoint to the harsher side of globalization."--Luiza Moreira, Binghamton University In this highly original volume, Charles Perrone explores how recent Brazilian lyric engages with its counterparts throughout the Western Hemisphere in an increasingly globalized world. This pioneering, tour-de-force study focuses on the years from 1985 to the present and examines poetic output--from song and visual poetry to discursive verse--across a range of media. At the core of Perrone's work are in-depth examinations of five phenomena: the use of the English language and the reception of American poetry in Brazil; representations and engagements with U.S. culture, especially with respect to film and popular music; epic poems of hemispheric solidarity; contemporary dialogues between Brazilian and Spanish American poets; and the innovative musical, lyrical, and commercially successful work that evolved from the 1960s movement Tropicalia.
Download or read book Comparative Studies in Asian and Latin American Philosophies written by Stephanie Rivera Berruz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative philosophy is an important site for the study of non-Western philosophical traditions, but it has long been associated with “East-West” dialogue. Comparative Studies in Asian and Latin American Philosophies shifts this trajectory to focus on cross-cultural conversations across Asia and Latin America. A team of international contributors discuss subjects ranging from Orientalism in early Latin American studies of Asian thought to liberatory politics in today's globalized world. They bring together resources including Latin American feminism, Aztec teachings on ethics, Buddhist critiques of essentialism, and Confucian morality. Chapters address topics such as educational reform, the social practices surrounding breastfeeding, martial arts as political resistance, and the construction of race and identity. Together the essays reflect the philosophical diversity of Asia and Latin America while foregrounding their shared concerns on issues of Eurocentrism and coloniality. By bringing these critical perspectives to bear on the theories and methods of cross-cultural philosophy, Comparative Studies in Asian and Latin American Philosophies offers new insights into the nature and practice of philosophical comparison.
